Greetings!
Thanks to all who attended the first in our series of salon concerts on Sunday, May 3 in the handsomely appointed home of Ted and Phyllis Davis. A gorgeous spring day was a perfect complement to the lovely offering of Brahms, Rachmaninov and Mendelssohn. The event was a great success, evidenced by two participants offering their homes for future concerts! For those of you who missed the May 3 event, there are still two more opportunities coming up this month. See below for details.
We look forward to seeing you at our final concert of the season Mozart Masterworks on May 31.
Sincerely,
The Chicago Philharmonic

Mozart Masterworks
Sunday, May 31 at 7:00 p.m.
@ Pick-Staiger Hall
Join the critically acclaimed Chicago Philharmonic for an evening of some of the most exquisite compositions ever written for instrumental soloists. For centuries, Mozart has fascinated both music aficionados and novices alike. This concert will begin with Mozart's Quartet in D for Flute, Violin, Viola and Cello, with Flute soloist, Jean Berkenstock. Berkenstock is Principal Flute with both the Chicago Philharmonic and the Lyric Opera. Mozart's Quintet in E-Flat for Horn, Violin, two Violas and Cello will follow, with soloist Jonathan Boen, French Horn. Boen is Principal Horn with the Chicago Philharmonic and the Lyric Opera. Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Quartet, an intensely passionate piece by French romantic composer Ernest Chausson (1855-1889), will conclude the program. Chausson is considered to be the most distinctive voice in French music of his generation. Featured soloists are violinist David Perry, Concertmaster for the Chicago Philharmonic, and pianist William Koehler.
